Baker College Honored for Services to Veterans

School meets all seven criteria for award for services to vets, active service members and families.

(Posted Nov. 1, 2016) CLINTON TOWNSHIP, MI — Baker College has again been recognized by the Michigan Veteran Affairs Agency’s Veteran-Friendly School Program for its commitment to veterans, service members and their dependents. It's the second consecutive year Baker College has been honored by the agency, which recognizes the state's colleges and universities that aid military members and their families under the GI Bill, the Fraser-Clinton Township Chronicle reported.

“American veterans deserve the opportunity to pursue their academic goals, and that means educators must ‘give their all’ to help them succeed,” Bart Daig, Baker College System president and CEO, said in a press release. “Baker College has long understood the many challenges faced by returning and active-duty military personnel, and we are proud to routinely go the extra mile for our veterans.”
